abstract
  • James Alpheus Skidmore Harris (August 28, 1828-May 17, 1863) was superintendent of a copper mine at Canton, Georgia before the American Civil War. He was elected lieutenant and later lt. colonel of the 2nd Georgia, and was made the first colonel of the new 43rd Georgia in March 1862. He died of a leg wound received while leading his troops, on the 17th May 1863 - during the Vicksburg Campaign. Since his death, the unfortunate Colonel Harris seems to be the center of several errors in the historical record. He is listed in some orders of battle as commanding the 2nd Georgia in September, 1862, but he'd already been given command of the 43rd Georgia months prior. Moreover, while he died of injuries during the Vicksburg campaign in May, 1863, his own grave marker states his death was on May 17, 1862.
